Rainbow of Poetry

One drop can not become sea
One colour cannot become rainbow
One leaf can not become flower,

But when they are multiply

The change in to wonders

Poetry reading in India, on 24 September, creator a very positive atmospheric in the world of poetry.

Poetry with difference in atmosphere, words with difference in script have similar emotions, yet it gives vast idea of human mind and its relation with other world.

The great Saint poet Kabir says

Find the word, understand the word,
Depend on the word;
The word is heaven and space, the word the earth,
The word the universe.
The word is in our ears, the word is on our tongues,
The word the idol.
The word is the holy book, the word is harmony,
The word is music.
The word is magic, the word the Guru.
The word is the body, the word is the spirit, the word is being,
The word Not-being.
The word is man, the word is woman,
The Worshipped Great.
The word is the seen and unseen, the word is the existent
And the non-existent.

Know the word, says Kabir,
The word is All-powerful.
And thus the journey towards the words takes the world towards poetry
